flnjslp Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Congrats on the acceptance! Have you heard any word on when East Stroudsburg will start letting people know of their decisions and how (mail, e-mail)? Thank you! When I got my application completion email it said mid-March and last year's results seem to confirm that. From the looks of the results section it seems like acceptances are sent by email and rejections are sent via mail. I haven't heard anything about this year. Sorry! They are my top choice so I'm reallyyy hoping to hear soon.
chitchat2016 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Does anyone know how much SLP grad programs wait lists seem to move? I was just wait listed by Pitt (my absolute dream school) and I am really hoping I still have a shot but I know it probably doesn't look good. Last year I was wait listed at 6/7 schools I applied to. For 4 schools, I never got an update and had to call (with virtually no response). 1 school mailed me a month after I was placed on the list that they didn't have any space. Another turned into an acceptance in late May for their 3 year program. Emerson kept me on the wait list through the summer - a space never opened up. But I reapplied and got accepted this year
dial1010usa Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Congrats Chitchat2016. What did you do in your gap year? HippoPirate- I'm so happy for you for your acceptance at Pacific University. My daughter haven't heard from them yet. Congratulations to all who got accepted and wish you all the best who are still waiting.
_fairydust Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Is it appropriate to contact a school and find out where you are on the waitlist? Or will they be aggravated?
candynut Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Is it appropriate to contact a school and find out where you are on the waitlist? Or will they be aggravated? I would say go for it. In my waitlisted email, the school specifically said they would be happy to let waiters know their rank on the list after they come back from spring break. Only 6 more days to see how much of a chance I have left! madisong23 1

SLPbilingue Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Hello! Just checking in to see if anyone knows when the University of Memphis might be sending out notices. According to the results page, people started receiving them on March 1st of last year. So far, nobody has posted anything for this year. Any information anyone might have would be so helpful! Congratulations so everyone who has gotten acceptances and good luck to those still waiting!
autismadvocate Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I think you'd be fine to email them, _fairydust. Actually, when you're waitlisted a letter of continued interest is appropriate. Let them know not only that you still want to go to their school, but try to if you can enclose more information in the email. For example, how you've been doing at school, if you're doing any new shadowing or volunteering projects that you didn't mention in your application, etc. From what I've read, admissions officers do actually consider these things and they will end up in your file. Just only send one email, though - you don't want to end up badgering them. Also, I go this today in response to my email asking for acknowledgement of my acceptance of the offer. "Received. Welcome to FSU!" Four words, but they made me so happy! And now I feel confident enough to withdraw my application from the other schools.

autismadvocate Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Just withdrew from all my other schools! It was kind of scary doing so, as I keep second guessing whether I'm really accepted into FSU, but the email gave me enough confidence to be able to do so.

ladyinwaiting23 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Congrats @autismadvocate! It's awesome that you are locked into your school before April!! The pressure is (hopefully) off of you now and you can relax and just look forward to grad school next Fall
JNP92 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Anyone hear anymore from Western Carolina? I'm waiting on them as a top choice! any idea when we're supposed to hear?

I feel like I've known you through this whole process and it makes me so happy to see you going to a school with such a great Autism program! I love GradCafe, and all the SLPeeps on here!
QS05 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Anyone hear anymore from Western Carolina? I'm still waiting to hear from them as well!
madisong23 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 To all the Radford people: I was accepted today via phone call but they are on spring break so even if you don't get a phone call today, it doesn't mean you're not accepted! Letters will be coming out next week. Good luck!

tmr1523 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Has anyone else heard from Pacific University? It seems kind of slow on the boards today, but I'm still hoping for a phone call!
tb218709 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Has anyone heard from Murray State Univeristy? Also, congrats to everyone on their acceptances!
oliviamichele Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Not me, but Congrats! Maybe I will get your spot at IU!! Hehehe I hope so!!! I just withdrew from IU, so hopefully they let you all know something soon I went there for undergrad and it is a fantastic program!
madisong23 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 That is my top choice!! Congrats! Did your status on your portal change? and did they say how many people are their "top" people? She did not tell me how many were the top people and my portal status did not change. Good luck!!! SammyKay 1
erdestromp Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Has anyone else heard from Pacific University? It seems kind of slow on the boards today, but I'm still hoping for a phone call! I saw that they phoned acceptances yesterday, so if they repeat the same pattern as last year, waitlists will go out sometime this week. Pretty sure they phoned all in one day
